The US led anti-terror coalition struck new positions of jihadI groups in Syria's Idlib province Thursday.
The US strikes for the first time targeted a position of the Ahrar al-Sham movement near al-Hawa border crossing between Idlib and Turkey, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.
The strikes also targeted a position of the Al Qaeda linked Nusra Front in Idlib.
The US coalition started their strikes against the Islamic State (IS) militant group in September.
Ahrar al-Sham is a coalition of Islamist and Salafist units which formed into a brigade during the Syrian crisis to fight against the administration of President Bashar al-Assad.
